Dear Parents and Students,

There has been a last minute adjustment to the trip, which will affect the types of clothes in which you are planning to wear/bring. Originally it was thought that we would go to the Kennedy Center to see Shear Madness on Friday the trip company has changed this to Saturday. Which means you will check out of the hotel Saturday morning around 8 am then you will go to take pictures at the White House. So you will be walking and need to wear relatively comfortable clothes. Next it is off to Arlington Cemetery where you will be walking around again. After Arlington you will take the subway to Pentagon City Mall to eat for lunch.

The problem occurs because you are leaving the hotel in the morning to tour but you also need to see the play that night and there is not a good place to change clothes or enough time in the schedule for every one to change. You need to wear somewhat nice clothes during the day on Saturday. The trip company has told me that it is okay for you to wear jeans and a sweater or button down shirt to the play that evening and clean tennis shoes. Other school groups have done this before. Still no sweats or flip-flops but something a little more causal is allowed instead of true dress clothes. Then after the show you will go to a restaurant for dinner you may use the restrooms there to change into something to sleep on the bus for the ride home.  HOWEVER note just like the first night you will not be able to access anything in the bottom of the bus after it is loaded in the morning at the hotel.

FOR ONLY MY WREATH LAYERS:

You need to be dressed up when you leave the hotel in the morning. Wearing your dress clothes to lay the wreath. You will be in these clothes until lunchtime when you will have the opportunity to change in to something a little more comfortable in the mall Restrooms. Bring a bag to carry with you so you can change at the mall. This bag should have everything you need in it for the day. 

I am letting you know of this change as early as possible I just found out today. If you have any questions please contact me.

                        `                                                            Sincerely,

                                                                                    Mrs. Schnabel
